I figured with the beta, it might be nice to have a dedicated thread just for what people think of Ermine.
Even though I've had it for a couple minutes this is what I've noticed. I'm using the EE:
1) Update went smoothly-like seriously smooth. I was VERY worried I'd end up bricking the device that's been soooooooo useful for me since Feb.
2) Some of my icons (such as AmazonAppStore and Music) disappeared off my desktop. They were still there, I just had to move the icon off the menu and back onto the desktop.
3) The screen seems more responsive, and it does appear to be faster.
4) I noticed there's this little thing called "Dev Tools". It even has a terminal emulator. Dunno know if that's of use to anyone, but there it is
5) New unlocking mechanism where you slid your finger. And it is quicker to unlock.
6) There is a new tab key on the keyboard for some things. It appears right where half of your spacebar used to be.
7) The fryoyo email app is much better than the old app so far.
8) Had some problems getting Winamp from the Amazon App Store, but don't know if this is a probllem with Amazon or Ermine.
Will post anything else I noticed.
